Communicate Faster With These Free Apps!

Communication in the digital age is all about speed and security. If you want to make sure you’re getting the best of both worlds, check out these apps:

ChatSecure

Using open-source libraries that include XMPP, OTR, and Tor, ChatSecure offers fast communication while protecting data. In the age of hacking and government snooping, it’s more important than ever to ensure that your messages are left private. Thanks, however, to the advanced technology used in this free program, users of ChatSecure can sleep at night knowing that their privacy is protected.

Silent Circle

Although Silent Circle is not a free program, it is considered to be one of the fastest and most secure in terms of calling, texting, and video chat. One thing that sets Silent Circle apart from other messaging services is that, even when you contact people who are not subscribed to the service, your data will still be processed quickly and securely. Silent Circle also offers superior encryption for text messages and other forms of online communication.

WhisperSystems

Whether you’re using iOS or Android, WhisperSystems has a fast, secure communications app for you. For iOS users, the company provides Signal, and for Android users, you can rely on RedPhone and TextSecure. When it comes to RedPhone, WhisperSystems integrates with your default dialer, meaning you don’t have to use a separate app to make calls, and TextSecure replaces the default Android messenger. When using iOS, however, you will need to use WhisperSystems’ tools as separate apps in order to remain secure.

Telegram

If you’ve ever seen a Mission Impossible movie or television episode, you’re likely familiar with the concept of a message self-destructing after being opened. Well, with Telegram, this concept becomes a reality! When you use Telegram, you can choose the option to have a message self-destruct based on a timed schedule that you set.

So, if you don’t want a message lingering around after you’ve sent it, it can automatically be erased. On the other hand, messages can also be stored in the cloud to be accessed from anywhere at any time if you choose. Telegram also boasts being the fastest messaging service in the world!

No matter which communications apps you choose to use, just make sure you use them wisely. Because of the speed with which today’s apps can send messages, it can be easy to send before you think. Always treat each message as if someone else is going to show it around, regardless of your apps’ security protocols.
